Holiday Splurges for Cyclists

Garmin Edge 800, $450

3 / 6

About the only thing the Edge 800 can't do is pedal. It's a full-featured cycle computer (speed, distance, elevation; cadence with additional sensor); training tool (Ant+Sport compatibility for heart rate and power-meter link-up; records data for later analysis); mapping unit (records your route for later viewing in Google Earth or other program) and navigation device (visual turn-by-turn directions). All this is packaged in a two-by-four inch rectangle with touchscreen display that attaches to your ride with a solid quarter-turn mount that easily moves from bike to bike.
